To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number of the cabled version (e.g., SLC1BB6 W/30). A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

The SLC1 Series Label Sensor was developed to provide trouble-free detection of labels on web backing material. It reliably senses the difference between materials of extremely low visual contrast, including clear labels on clear or opaque backing. The SLC1 uses Banner’s exclusive Adaptive Digital Logic (ADL™) to automatically make all sensor settings; no user adjustments are necessary.

C-GAGE SLC1 Series Label Sensor
Installing the SLC1 Series Label Sensor Mount directly and securely to a firm surface using M4 (#8) hardware (bolts not included). See dimensions for mounting hole locations. To lessen the effects of web flutter, position the bottom fork of the sensor slightly above the web’s path so that the web can glide over the bottom fork with slight tension. For the most reliable operation, take steps to eliminate static electricity near the SLC1 Label Sensor.
Figure 2. Allowing the web to glide over the bottom fork with slight tension lessens the effects of web flutter.
Operating the SLC1 Series Label Sensor The SLC1 Series is self-teaching and needs no programming; there are no adjustments to set. Simply align the label web in the slot, between the guides, and allow the labels to run through the sensor. After the passing of four successive labels or 250 milliseconds (whichever is greater), the SLC1 learns the characteristics of the labels and adjusts for the proper sensing threshold and drift compensation. For best self-programming results, turn power to the sensor ON or perform a reset after the web has been positioned in the slot. Align the labels within the web alignment guides on the side of the sensor slot as completely as possible. For best repeatability, position the label to cover the entire sensing area (between the sensor’s web alignment guides, see Figure 2 on page 2). Some label configurations are sensed with greater repeatability than others; the sensor performs best when there is an abrupt change between labels. For example, labels with sharply defined edges that are perpendicular to the web direction and have larger gaps between labels are sensed most easily. Tiny gaps between labels and labels whose shape tapers at the leading and trailing edges are more difficult to sense.

If sensing a label with a shape like that shown in Figure 4 on page 3, the best repeatability results if the most perpendicular edge of the label is aligned fully within the sensing area.

C-GAGE SLC1 Series Label Sensor
Reset Procedure Resets are performed at startup, when changing label types, or in response to an internal error indication. To reset, turn the SLC1's power ON or cycle the power OFF for 1 second or longer and then ON again. The SLC1 may also be reset using the sensor’s gray wire. To do so, toggle the gray wire to the opposite polarity for >100 ms. Again, the sensor automatically adjusts to the current sensing conditions after the passing of four labels or 250 ms, whichever is greater.

Description
Solid
Power to sensor is ON
Flashing at 4 Hz
Output is overloaded Solid
Flashing alternatively at 1 Hz
NPN and PNP outputs are ON Internal error; reset sensor. Internal errors are caused by several factors: • Moisture in the sensing slot • Extreme and prolonged web flutter • Label jams (labels touching both the top and the bottom sensor forks) If an internal error occurs, correct its cause and perform a reset (cycle the sensor power OFF for at least 1 second and ON again or toggle the gray wire to the opposite polarity for >100 milliseconds).
Maintenance The SLC1 Series sensor may be disassembled for periodic cleaning, as needed. Use a 7/64" hex key to remove the four screws at the bottom and remove the bottom fork for cleaning. Clean the fork surfaces with a mild solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, taking care to avoid the clear indicator light window.
Repairs Contact Banner Engineering for troubleshooting of this device. Do not attempt any repairs to this Banner device; it contains no field-replaceable parts or components. If the device, device part, or device component is determined to be defective by a Banner Applications Engineer, they will advise you of Banner's RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) procedure. Important: If instructed to return the device, pack it with care. Damage that occurs in return shipping is not covered by warranty.
